Ash & stainless Steel bench. Long with pics

[Scott]

Jason,

That's superb and even from photos the finish looks fantastic! Well done!

Agree with Tim about the green though!

Thanks for all the comments.

The foam will be covered in black or very dark brown to go with the granite worktops and slate floor, the green was the only bit of dark material I had that was big. The back of the bench looks a lot nicer in-situe against a plain wall rather than the curtain in my pics.

The table won't be posted for a few weeks, the glass is going to be about 14days del and it will take me a while to cut the 12mm stainless rod into 72pieces, maybe time to splash out on a new hacksaw blade :wink:

If also got to do a bedroom/dressingroom/en-suite for the same client which will be around the £20k mark, thats not including the bed that we are discussing at the moment.

I have one of these http://tinyurl.com/9u7tj that works pretty well. If you plan on doing more metal cutting it might be a worthwhile time saver.

I used the angle grinder in one of those cheap stands that you can pull forward (these stands only cost about a tenner, and are quite handy, i had to cut about 50 pieces for my furniture and was done in an iffy

Chris.
I do quite a bit of metal work, model engineering to be exact, (Working on a traction engine at the moment) so have often thought about getting something like that, usually while sawing through a thick bit of metal quite like the smaller ones but they do cost more.

The place where I get the Stainless has a couple of massive band saws with hydralic arms, while I was collecting the bar for the bench they were slicing discs off an 8" dia bar :!:

Mc.
Didn't fancy covering the workshop in carborundum dust but next time I order from screwfix will get a couple of their thin discs to try, they are supposed to cut cooler and not didcolour the SS.

Cracking stuff Jason - and great that you've found a customer willing to pay a sensible price for good work and who wants more and more doing...
